It's actually 5 beans. 4 beans + Mr. Bean.
that is so true
*Mind Blown*
😂
Yes
Lolol
”The renaissance was just something that happened to other people.” 🤣
This is Spanish for "what will be, will be." This is something you say when you are stuck in a hopelessly unchangeable situation, but have come to accept, or even embrace the unchangability of it all. This is similar to the phrase "it is what it is."
Doctor: I regret to say that your mother-in-law did not survive the surgery.
Guy: *attempting to suppress a smile* Oh well. Que sera sera.
@N.A.R Channel you really make me smiled, i'll made a video of 60 ways to tell you thank you
Unless you're immortal then you have to agree.
Your statement is blatantly true, idiot.
Logic is king, and absolutism is key.
N.A.R Channel r/getlost
Actually pretty true as well. The cultural renaissance only really impacted the absolute elite of european society. Pretty much everyone else were stuck in the dark ages
'We've moved on from advanced mathematics' always kills me haha
🤣😂🤣😂
I absolutely love the fact that all of Baldricks answers are actually correct.......
Psst, hey, I think that was the joke.
4 Beans= A very small Casserole.
@@elpanderohabanero2915 he’s not explaining it, he just said he liked it dickhead
@@elpanderohabanero2915 psst, hey, the joke is how hard a time he is having getting through to him.
@thomashjensen1556 Yes….and no
"Right. I'm off to see the Queen."
"Oh, shall I come my Lord?"
"No, best not, people might think we're friends"
💀
The almost friendly way he is able to put out what really is a terminal put down shows why this is still brilliant 40 years later
3 beans and that one!
and if we add that one to 3 bean than what do we have ?
OH! some beans.
We have Mr bean
@@user-ws3st7hu2l you're disgusting
@@veilnebula2411 "Yes... To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?"
One bean and those three
I always liked this scene. While Black Adder always talked down to Baldrick, the fact that at this point in history he was willing to TEACH his servant maths meant he had at least some level of care/respect for him.
It soon passed
@Ei Dirst I share a lot of Blackadder's personality traits
Blackadder is one warm and wholesome human being beneath all that sarcastic persona of his...
What was more surprising was him wanting Baldrick to have free thought.
Why hello there Mr Scratch. Funny thing is you're trying to be considerate and kind now... better tell people who you are and what you did to Alan Wake!
"A very small casserole"
He's much wiser than you
Indeed. For the peasant class, finding sufficient food to eat was more urgent than the esoteric mathematics of the upper classes.
How these guys kept a straight face the whole time especially Baldric is impressive
I imagine some scenes had many takes. How couldn't they?
British
@@tallesrodrigues5994it's called several takes. "British" has nothing to do with it.
Baldrick actually does some basic algebra in this. He understands that 2 beans + 2 beans = three beans plus that one or 2+2=3+1.
Plot twist, baldrick creates the algebra to justify his answer
Don't you dare to use that filthy emoji on such a great comedy BBC
Finally, someone said something about it!
what emoji?
Don’t you DAAAAAREEE! Get it ?...I’m Michael sheen’s Nero...no?...ok.
That was the first thing I commented. It makes me want to kill myself.
BBC showing it's cool and modern lol
some beans = three beans and that 1
Baldrick's Logic
The subjective, anti-reductionist perspective. Quite visionary for the time!
Some beans and some beans = 4
Gonna say that to my maths teacher
Sad thing that the renaissance was something that happened to others
A genuine example of someone who 'could only count up to three'.
"You look like a bird who's swallowed a plate, Percy."
"It's the latest fashion and as a matter of fact it makes me look RATHER SEXY!"
"To another plate-swallowing bird, perhaps, if it was blind and hadn't had it in months!"
Percy is right. Renaissance season of Black Adder is the only time time when Rowan Aktison looked sexy.
@@playnochat this is my favourite look of his too lol that's part of the reason why I clicked on this video
"You look like a bird that swallowed a plate" 😂
I wonder how i would look if i swallowed a plate
@@stephensharma5275 dead ?
@@logtech663 lol maybe
That line reminds me of the honesty of my autistic friends.
Did the BBC seriously use an emoji in the thumbnail?
I know, I cringed too.
BBC if you're reading this please DO NOT put emojis in your thumbnails.
It really looks awful.
What's wrong with emojis?
@@ganjaganja3811 their usage in this context.
@@neithere Their using laugh emoticon on a comedy video thumbnail. I didn't find that out of context.
@@ganjaganja3811 this is good comedy. The emoji is extremely lame. Sorry, I don't know how to explain this. Maybe only a title like this would be worse: "Funny! Silly man doesn't know how to count :))))) lol - BBC"
To you Baldrick... " The Renaissance is something that happened to other people ,wasn't it ! " one of the greatest lines ever in my opinion
To many Baldricks, it still is.
@@louisehogg8472 lol
This is so good. Classic British humor at its prime.
*humour
Bigpot😲
"Some beans" is one of the funniest lines i've heard an i can't explain why i love it so much
That's the best kind of humour.
Yeah..like..' Cool Beans' said.when something is good..my friend's favourite saying lol!!
“Baldrick...The Ape Creatures of The Indies have mastered this” Always makes me laugh.
They did amount to a very SMALL 'hill of beans'.
Be specific. Ask” how many beans “
M C 3 beans and that one
Some beans
Two beans and those ones.
Not only did he ask: "How many are there" at 0:33, he also spoiled the answer the second before the questions. But i guess the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people.
four bean
Baldrick is a poet and an abstract thinker untied to worldly constructs
British comedy is the best. Cheers from norway.
En av de beste humør fra Storbritannia 😅😂
*was
@@otherpill7008 I enjoy British comedy a lot, don't know about the current programmes but I loved Black Adder Series, Thin Blue Line, Mr. Bean ofcourse, Jeeves and Wooster, Coupling, etc.
@@sirswearsalot1813 current stuff is shit
@@iaincowell9747 Try watching "The House of Commons" the comedy produced is top notch
My favourite comedy with Rowan Atkinson. It's a pity he's better known outside the UK as Mr Bean. The Blackadder series' were in my humble estimation superior in everyway to Bean. I wish they'd do another series...
I agree. Blackadder is superior to Bean without a doubt.
I would not say it is superior. I think Blackadder is not for everyone even though it is smart and well written. Mr.Bean comedy was for everyone. The fact that people of different cultures and languages could still enjoy Mr.Bean is a true feat in itself. If it can be enjoyed by everyone then the humour is absolutely genius.
Bulgarian here! I think that Blackadder is light years better than Mr Bean. All 4 seasons.
Greek here. We had Blackadder in the 90´s on TV, he was already known as Mr. Bean. Blackadder is better, but most people cannot even judge that, and would vote for Mr. Bean...
I much prefer Blackadder but Mr Bean was perfect for the Olympic ceremony and wonderfully funny in that.
They actually look kind of amazing in these Elizabethan costumes (minus the exaggerated ruff, and Baldrick's peasant clothes). I wouldn't mind if this look came back into fashion.
@S Y Especially if they hadn't had it in months
Still after all these years, the best TV series.
The best black adder. This is also how I like Rowan Atkinson the most.
My favorite Black Adder too.
Have you seen him as the French detective Maigret? Excellent!
@@thoughtfortheday7811 too bad they cancelled the series
@@dorjjodvo1992 agree.
@@thoughtfortheday7811 THANK YOU! Best tip of the whole week for me.
Yes to you Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people wasn’t it?🤣🤣🤣
what really hppen
"No we have moved on from ADVANCED mathematics to elementary dress making".haha ..
This comical work is hardly seen anywhere in the world today.
On the spot writing and better than brilliant delivery.
Yes comedy has been cancelled?
As someone who has dyscalculia and was in the bottom set for maths all through school, this is what our lessons were like.
We all have weak spots. Mine is computers; they just don't speak my language nor, more importantly, do they use my logic...
And R. Atkinson, as someone with the mathematical ability required for his later degree in engineering, will have observed this scene many times. From across the classroom at school, in his youth.
He didn't write the lines, but his comedy is often VERY well observed.
the renaissance line was brilliant. Atkinson delivered it perfick!
"Birdneck and birdbrain should get on like a house on fire"😂
why is there an emoji on the thumbnail of a black adder clip...
whoever approved that decision has a similar intellect to that of baldrick or, dare I say, the tactical genius masterminds of WW1.
This is Spanish for "what will be, will be." This is something you say when you are stuck in a hopelessly unchangeable situation, but have come to accept, or even embrace the unchangability of it all. This is similar to the phrase "it is what it is."
Doctor: I regret to say that your mother-in-law did not survive the surgery.
Guy: *attempting to suppress a smile* Oh well. Que sera sera.
Had to get all of the series in a box set.. Laughter is pure medicine
Same!
Teaching a flat earther the world's round.
Muahhaha thanks man that made me shit my self laughing.
I breathe Napalm the earth is demonstrably level
Even Baldrick isn't that stupid 😂
@@dominate1221 your intellect is demonstrably low
@@dominate1221
Wtf? You still believe in Earth? Grow up kid, Earth doesn't exist and I have watched 50 hours of videos to prove what I'm saying!
This is basically me and my dad, except with a lot less screaming and a lot less crying.
and your dad must be the idiot then
O no bro, i hope you're okay now
?
I didn’t know Mr. Bean’s ancestor is a math teacher for counting beans
I think hes called mr Beanadict
ok I'll leave
*maths
Blackadder: I add two beans to two beans, what do I have?
Baldrick: Three beans, and that other bean; and you, Mr. Bean
like he said ape creatures of Indus have mastered this
I need some more years to accept the fact that mr bean can actually speak.
Lucky you. I think i need a second life to digest this fact.
You just need a filmography of Rowan Atkinson's work and I think you'll be good.
I started with „Blackadder“, so for me Mr. Atkinson is a speaking actor first of all.
@@k.r.99 😂God
@ lucky you man
I watched these historical documentaries when I was a child. Who knew learning could be so fun?
"It makes me look rather sexy!"
"To another plate-swallowing BIRD perhaps?"
The worst part in life is seeing your childhood hero's getting old
What the worst part is dont realized that we also being old and old
Lucky me. Most of my childhood heroes are from anime and cartoons.
@@k.r.99 lucky you
Better than seeing them die young.
@@catonkybord7950 absolutely
I used to tutor elementary school age kids. That scene with Baldric and the beans is what it was like.
R. Atkinson has a degree in engineering. I'm sure he observed this exasperating scene many times at school.
Rowan is just 👌
Fast forward to 2021 and USA math classes and this is normal now. Any math answer given is a correct answer.
Mr. Bean doesn't usually talk, but when he does... you'll get roasted before you know it
"one, two, three, FOUR. So how many are there?"
"three, and that one"
can we please give an oscar to whoever wrote this :D
"Bird neck and bird brain, should get on like a house on fire" 😂😂
This show was the gold standard for comedy... sad to see that the British shows have deteriorated now..
The green standard you mean
Cuz political correctness wasn't a big deal back then.
@@samarthmisra6064 More like political correctness wasn't a problem or factor back then.
@@alexsdb9712 True that
If I want to watch a decent comedy I go back to the oldies, or even a select few from last decade (e.g Peep Show). Wouldn't touch the tripe they come out with now, especially on the BBC. A couple years ago I attempted to watch a new BBC 'comedy' and threw up. Never tried again since.
British humour, in my opinion, is the best!
'' no best not, people might think we're friends''. lmao.
.. there should be a scene where you can see baldric solving quantum-equations in the background, and then coming back with a super simple answer.
This is Spanish for "what will be, will be." This is something you say when you are stuck in a hopelessly unchangeable situation, but have come to accept, or even embrace the unchangability of it all. This is similar to the phrase "it is what it is."
Doctor: I regret to say that your mother-in-law did not survive the surgery.
Guy: *attempting to suppress a smile* Oh well. Que sera sera.
You know that quantum physics was discovered in the early 1900s and this part of Blackadder is set in the dark ages, right?
He accidentally builds a time machine in 'blackadder back and forth'
''shall i come to my lord'?'' '' no best not, people might think we're friends'' lmao.
Baldrick is the common core administrator
This is the best explanation of what it's like to teach.
"You look silly with that ruff!", says another man with a ruff lol
The humor aged so well!
Rowan look so handsome here 🔥🔥
"The ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this" - the number of times I've used this phrase when teaching my kid ..... 😄
I don't know where my twisted sense of humor would have been if wasn't for Blackadder
I mean, he's not wrong is he? Two beans and two beans ARE some beans.
Yes.......and no.
The moment where he said it makes him look sexy. 🤣🤣🤣
@William (Will) FARQUHAR One who's probably blind and hasn't had it in months.
I loved the Black adder in every time period, Rowan Atkinson is a very funny man.
Rowen Atkinson is one of the funniest comedian's and he makes a very good spy.
Just the right video for my break away from a student who added kilograms and hours to compute a monetary amount. Great video!
Blackadder's coat is amazing.
One of the funniest videos ever. I come back from time to time and it never disappoints!
Rowan Atkinson is such a good actor!
Not a single swear word yet ridiculously hilarious
It's completely Blackadders fault. He didn't once say "How many beans?" He kept saying "What do you have?" And Baldrick correctly said "some beans".
He referred Indians as some apes in Indus
@@satyamevjayate1601 I don't think it was supposed to refer to Indian people, more like some imaginary mythological creatures. It just sounds a bit ambiguous and odd now that we're more sensitive about racism issues
It's not a joke about maths, it's a joke about grammar 😉
Not only did he ask: "How many are there" at 0:33, he also spoiled the answer the second before the questions. But i guess the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people.
this is probably how my high school math teacher felt with me 😂
first time to see rowan with stache n beard. he looks good with that actually
Seeing Rowan Atkinson talk like a normal person is something I cannot digest....
He is Mr. Bean for life
Mr. Bean used to talk as well. When his hand was stuck in a casserole and he had to say his name at the hospital, he spoke and said his name lol
Mr.Bean talking about beans
Blackadder talked long before the 'Bean' creature appeared!
I knew him as The Black Adder, long before I knew him as Mr Bean.😊❤
@@tommyboy1861 Way superior comedy as Blackadder over mr Bean.
Absolutly best role of Mr. Rowan Atkinson and most genius tv series of all times!
I so miss this show...
I'm gonna watch it for the 11th time all over now.
Don't ever try to be funny in my presence again 😂 that's one of my favourites.
This is the comedic genius of Mr.Atkinson.In love with him since i can remember anything.
They changed it from season 2 initially Baldrick was brilliant and he was stupid.Glad they changed it.
One of the masterpieces of comedy with a stellar ensemble cast.Sadly this will never be recreated.:-(
It's kinda sad that the season 2 has only 7 episodes. I would watch hundreds of them.
@@pragmaticpuppy2715 That is BBC's trademark ,less is more.And Sherlock is another fine example.
And I think its 6 episodes.
Tony Robinson (Baldrick) helped write the Blackadder series
This perfectly explains why Rowan Atkinson was Zazu
Me lord,I have a cunning plan.
_I have a plan so cunning you can brush your teeth with it_
Put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
A Bird who has swollen a plate😂😂😂
The "dinner plate" could also be used to focus faint sounds to one's ears, or maybe even radio signals.
I love Baldwick he is 100% me he is my spirit animal 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Alright then tell me, how many "😁" are in your comment.
@Dan, the one and only , 👏👏👏👏
Rowan Atkinson talking about beans, of course.
Absolutely superbly funny ,great times .comedy genius at its best 😂😊
Marvellous, the second series is my favourite & it’s hard, hard choice. They are all wonderfully funny.
as a math teacher I like this documentary.
So basicly he is Mr. Bean ancestor
Three and that one. It's so important to have a thought on your own. Thank you!
This was the foundation for my high school mathematics.
I love how blimming big the books were 📚
Sir Francis Drake!🤣😂😄
So many subtle jokes. Not just the snarky one liners that get quoted and remembered.
This is one of my favorite Blackadder scenes ever. 😂
Hahaha using the laugh cry emoji! So relatable!
Heavily reminds me of some extra lessons I gave as a student.
It's kinda wholesome that Edmund just sits there teaching math to Baldrick, for bo reason and he also tries to make him think for himself, It's nicest he's been to him since 15th century.
"Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus mastered this!" --- "Edmund! Edmund!" - "What?" - "Edmund! Edmund!" :)))) Blackadder is british comedy at it´s finest.
Some beans🤣
yes....and NO
This was the very first scene following the first series, where we see the roles flip from Blackadder being the dimwit and Baldrick being the intelligent one, to the opposite. Worked much better IMO
This is so good!
Oh god, i was totally forgot about this show.
One of my favorite, when i was little.
3+1 beans = some beans. easy math😂
